First of all, NOWHERE DID I SAY THAT THE FEDERATION COULD DEFEAT THE EMPIRE IN BATTLE. I was taking about the BORG. With advanced technology assimilated from races all accross the galaxy, ESPECIALLY the knowledge to adapt to and regenerate from a multiude weapons fire, it would take a massive pounding from any Imperial fleet to severely cripple JUST ONE Cube, in the same way it takes a massive pounding from a Federation fleet to do the same thing (First Contact). FURTHERMORE, I suggest that we lay down the phasers and lightsabers, and discuss this like gentlemen to get the most fair and balanced result possible. I aslo ask each of you to keep an open mind, and not rule out any ST vs. SW scenario right away. There are so many factors to take into effect that an outcome will be VERY difficult to reach regardless of who's on what side. Our job is to make a BALANCED mod, not a one-sided Imperial slugfest against the Federation "wimps". HERE'S AN ALTERNATIVE: In my opinion, the Galactic Civil War should be put on hold, uniting the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire's forces for the time being WITH the Federation, who have the technology needed to stop the Borg's conquest into the Star Wars galaxy. Although it would still be fun, this would make A WHOLE LOT MORE SENSE than a massive Star Trek vs. Star Wars all-out slugfest. The Federation are not war machines like the Empire, but they do have the technology available to defeat the Borg, if ever so slightly. With the TEMPORARY Imperial/Rebel allaince's firepower complemented by the Federation's technology, they will have an outlet to finally drive the Borg out of BOTH galaxies. Star Trek's Forces- the brains Star Wars' Forces- the braun The Borg- the seemingly unstoppable menace (believe me, these guys are tough!!) The Battlefield- the Star Wars galaxy, ripe for worlds to assimilate
